[GIT PULL 2/4] x86: vdso32/syscall.S: do not load __USER32_DS to %ss

[Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>]

From: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com>

This vDSO code only gets used by 64-bit kernel,
not 32-bit. In 64-bit kernels, data segment is the same
for 32-bit and 64-bit userspace, and SYSRET insn does load %ss
with its selector. No need to repeat it by hand. Segment loads
are somewhat expensive: tens of cycles.
